What is UGC and how do you monetize it?
UGC stands for User-Generated Content any content created by ordinary people (users) rather than brands or professional creators: videos, photos, reviews, social media posts, testimonials.
Examples: a customer posting a product photo on Instagram, a review on Amazon, a TikTok video using a brand's product, a Reddit discussion.
Why brands love UGC: it is perceived as more authentic and trustworthy than advertising because it comes from real people with no commercial obligation.
How to monetize UGC:
As a UGC creator: brands pay individuals to produce "authentic-looking" content photos and videos in a personal, non-polished style for the brand to use in their advertising. Rates vary from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per deliverable.
Platforms to find UGC work: Billo, Minisocial, JoinBrands, and direct outreach to brands on LinkedIn.
As a platform (like YouTube): monetize through advertising alongside user content, subscriptions, and partnerships.
